I think they are all the same, Apple contracted all the retinas out to one manufacture, Samsung I believe.

This is a useless comment since the 2007 MBP would not have had a retina display.
 
What is the shell command that will return the LCD manufacturer? Or are all of the Retina displays a single source?

The command below is just returning a result of "Color LCD"

ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6

The command worked on my MBA, but not the rMBP. Any ideas on how to get the real string?

For non Retina Mac`a
ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6

For Retina Mac`s
ioreg -lw0 | grep \"EDID\" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
 
It's not working on my 2014 15". It is displaying nothing.

Any advice appreciated.
 
System Preferences → Displays → Color → Color LCD → Open Profile → mmod

I don’t know what the manufacturer and model codes mean, but somebody else probably does.

For my own part, I have a late-2013 15.4″ with manufacturer 610 and model A019.
